Ellen DeGeneres's Secrets For Staying Healthy and Happy

Ellen Is Vegan

Back in 2009, Ellen and her wife, Portia DeGeneres decided to become vegan because of their love for animals. Here's what she told Shape about her diet change: "Food used to be really important to me. I loved steak, I loved hamburgers, I loved all that stuff. I can't believe how irresponsible I was, eating what I ate . . . I want to be on my toes; I want to have energy. And as much as the [vegan] diet seems like a sacrifice, it's helping me."
